Are you ready to break free from the cycle of temporary fixes and finally create lasting health changes? In San Diego’s vibrant wellness community, Oasis Hormone Therapy & Wellness Center offers a comprehensive health coaching program that goes beyond surface-level solutions to uncover and address the root causes of your health challenges.

With over 19 years of clinical experience and specialized training in functional medicine, Dr. Leverone oversees an evidence-based program that blends naturopathic medicine with practical, results-driven coaching, delivered by Health Coach Katherine “Coach Kat” Peterman. Together, we guide clients toward lasting, sustainable wellness transformations.

What is Health Coaching?

Health coaching is a collaborative partnership designed to guide you through sustainable lifestyle changes. Unlike traditional medical appointments that focus solely on treating symptoms, coaching empowers you to become the active driver of your own wellness journey.

“Health coaching bridges the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it,” shares Dr. Leverone. “In our program, Coach Kat provides hands-on support, structure, and accountability, while I provide clinical oversight to ensure each plan aligns with your lab findings, medications, and health history.”

Research published in the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine demonstrates that health coaching can lead to significant improvements in chronic disease management, with participants showing measurable improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and overall quality of life.1

Multiple peer-reviewed studies demonstrate the effectiveness of health coaching interventions:

A systematic review in the Journal of Medical Internet Research found significant improvements in self-efficacy, adherence to lifestyle recommendations, and clinical markers.
A comprehensive review in the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine showed meaningful improvements across multiple chronic conditions and quality-of-life measures.3
A study in Patient Education and Counseling linked coaching interventions to better medication adherence and self-management behaviors.
